Polygiene permanent odor control announces its partnership with POC, the Swedish protective gear manufacturer. Every new POC helmet sold this fall/winter will feature a Polygiene^® odor control wipe. This signals the beginning of a strong new partnership between the two companies.

“We’ve tested and verified the effectiveness of Polygiene permanent odor control, and immediately wanted to start using Polygiene to make our 2010 helmet collection odor free,” says POC CEO Stefan Ytterborn. “We decided on an interim solution by including a Polygiene wipe with every POC helmet.”

“Beginning with 2010/11 POC Wheels collection and the 2011/12 POC Snow collection, all POC helmets and body armor will integrate Polygiene permanent odor control treatment,” continues Ytterborn. “We believe that gravity sports lovers who buy POC will appreciate being able to stay fresh by keeping their POC gear odor free with Polygiene. To control odor on other types of gear, Polygiene spray is available for sale at our store in Chamonix.”

Permanent and effective, Polygiene is both eco-friendly and safe next to the skin. Thanks to the company’s healthcare heritage, Polygiene meets the highest standards of hygiene. Gear treated with Polygiene also lasts longer and requires less cleaning, which helps reduce the consumer’s ecological footprint. Being bluesign^® approved, Polygiene also meets the most demanding environmental certification for textiles.
